I WHO HAVE NOTHING
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I’m just a no one
With nothing to give you but oh...
I love you
You, you buy her diamonds,
Bright, sparkling diamonds.
But believe me, dear when I say
That you can give her the world
but she’ll never love you the way
I love you
You can take her any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against
The window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling ‘tis I…
Who love you
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one

"I (Who Have Nothing)" (sometimes billed as "I Who Have Nothing") is a song originally released in English by Ben E. King in 1963.
"I (Who Have Nothing)" is based on the Italian song "Uno Dei Tanti," (English: "One of Many") with music by Carlo Donida and lyrics by Giulio "Mogol" Rapetti.[1] "Uno Dei Tanti" was released by Joe Sentieri in 1961. The English lyrics for "I (Who Have Nothing)" were written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who also produced the Ben E. King record using the backing track from Joe Sentieri's record (orchestra conducted by Luis Enriquez Bacalov).
The song was included in the musical revue "Smokey Joe's Cafe".
[edit]Versions

The original English Ben E. King version was released in 1963 and reached #29 on the Billboard charts. Other versions which reached the Billboard charts were performed by Terry Knight and the Pack in 1966 (#46), by Liquid Smoke in 1970 (#82), by Warhorse in 1972 and by Sylvester in 1979 (#46). The most popular version in the US was by Tom Jones, peaking at #14 in 1970.
Shirley Bassey released the song (produced by George Martin) in September 1963, reaching #6 on the UK charts. She performs the song at almost every live concert she gives, and it is on many of her compilation albums, including I Am What I Am with the London Symphony Orchestra, and her 1989 album La Mujer where she sings it in Spanish ("Hoy No Tengo Nada"). She has also been instrumental in making Donida's music known to English speaking audiences through arranging for translations from the Italian, having performed with the composer conducting his own music on Italian television.[2][3]
Other versions of "I (Who Have Nothing)" have been recorded by Tom Jones, Petula Clark, Al Kooper, The Spectres, who later became Status Quo, Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, Sylvester, Jedi Mind Tricks, Hodges, James & Smith, Luther Vandross & Martha Wash, Liza Minnelli, Brook Benton, Neil Diamond, Joe Cocker, Normie Rowe, Katherine Jenkins, Linda Jones, Little Milton, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Sam Sorono (1950-2008), Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, Warhorse and Vassilikos from Raining Pleasure; in January 2012, Gladys Knight released a dance remixes EP of her cover of the song.
Recent interpretations include those by American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, Nikki Kerkhof, the winner of Idols 4, the Dutch version of Pop Idol, and Irish auditionee on The X Factor UK Mary Byrne.
Jordin Sparks sang the song during British Invasion Week on the sixth season of American Idol. A studio recording of her performance reached #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 following her win.
Haley Reinhart also sang it on season ten of American Idol in the Top 4 round, receiving a standing ovation from the judges and instant critical acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
Hip-Hop trio Signs of Rozetta made a version of the song in 2011 that gained popularity in Connecticut and has been heard on YouTube.

Primarily a jazz and acoustic singer, but also part-time lyricist who enjoys all good music.I've discovered amazing musicians here that I've had the pleasure of collaborating with. I've also been blessed enough to have one of my song covers used in a car commercial, two have aired on SkyHigh Radio Station and another used on a charity CD for Unicef! So keep your dreams alive whether big or small cause ya never know.
And please check out the clouds of some of the talented musicians I've collaborated with along with my wonderful duet partners!
